i'll second 1500.... just to keep things quick.... it's not a major event, so we should leave some time for other things!

2h rounds is cutting it a bit close, we want to kee this casual still. i'd go for 2.5h, also since not everyone will have a movement board.

How early do we want to start? there are some people comming from vic, and we only have to accomodate 8h or so, so it could be 10 or 11 start. alternately we could start at 9, leaving lots of time for lunch and further games in the evening....
